One day after the announcement of his wife's cancer diagnosis, Craig Anderson will be in goal for the Ottawa Senators versus the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, head coach Guy Boucher confirmed.
The Senators announced Thursday that Anderson was taking time to deal with a personal matter, followed by news of Nicholle Anderson's cancer diagnosis Friday. After goaltender Andrew Hammond was injured in Friday's game, Nicholle reportedly suggested her husband rejoin the team in Edmonton.
Anderson is 4-1 on the season.
